Product Details
These 8-pin single-row right-angle male headers are standard interconnect components widely used across the electronics industry. Featuring a standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch, these pins are bent at a precise 90° angle. They are primarily soldered onto the edges of printed circuit boards (PCBs) to facilitate horizontal plug-in connections, making them indispensable for low-profile enclosures, daughterboards, and modular prototyping.
Specifications
- Number of Pins: 8
- Row Configuration: Single Row
- Pin Pitch (Spacing): 2.54mm (0.1 inches)
- Orientation: Right-Angle (90° bend)
- Contact Material: Brass or Copper Alloy (typically Gold or Tin-plated)
- Insulator Material: Thermoplastic (UL94V-0 rated, often Nylon or PBT)
- Current Rating: 3A AC/DC maximum per pin
- Insulation Resistance: 1000 Megaohm minimum
- Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: 500V AC/minute
- Space-Saving Low Profile: The right-angle bend allows mating cables or daughterboards to sit parallel to the main PCB rather than sticking straight up. This drastically reduces the vertical height requirements of the final enclosure.
- Snappable/Customizable Length: The plastic thermoplastic carrier strip is molded with small score lines between each pin. If your project suddenly requires a 5-pin or 3-pin connector instead, you can easily snap or cut this 8-pin strip down to size.
- Standard Breadboard Compatibility: The 2.54mm pitch is the absolute standard for electronic prototyping. While right-angle pins are meant for PCBs, the long side can still plug into standard breadboards or female jumper wires.
- Robust Mechanical Anchoring: Because the pins pass through the board and the plastic housing rests flat against the PCB surface, they offer excellent mechanical resistance against the shearing forces of repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables.
Dimensional Anatomy
- Solder Tail (Short End): The portion that drops vertically through the plated through-holes (PTH) of your PCB to be soldered.
- The 90° Bend: The structural curve that redirects the signal pathway horizontally.
- Mating Length (Long End): The exposed horizontal pin portion that extends past the edge of the board to mate with female headers, Dupont connectors, or IDC ribbon cable sockets.
- Arduino & Raspberry Pi Shields: Creating side-entry ports on custom expansion boards so stacking multiple shields doesn't create an excessively tall module stack.
- Panel-Mount Interfaces: Soldering headers to the edge of a internal circuit board so they can protrude perfectly through a slot cut into an exterior plastic housing enclosure.
- Sensor Breakout Boards: Giving small modules (like gyroscopes, OLED displays, or RF transceivers) a horizontal profile so they can lay flat against a chassis.
- Modular DIY Electronics: Linking control boards directly to adjacent power or driver boards without using bridge cables.
- Flush Alignment: When soldering, ensure the plastic insulator bar rests tightly and evenly against the top or bottom surface of the PCB. If it sits crooked, your horizontal pins will point up or down, making it highly difficult to plug in mating connectors.
- Prototyping Stability: To hold the right-angle header perfectly flush while you solder the first stabilizing pin underneath, plug the header into a scrap piece of breadboard or use a piece of heat-resistant Kapton tape to clamp it to your PCB.
- Plating Selection: If your project is deploying to a high-vibration or high-humidity environment, try to mate gold-plated male headers with gold-plated female connectors. Mixing tin-plated headers with gold-plated connectors can cause fretting corrosion over extended periods.
- Clean Cutting: When snapping strips down to custom sizes, use a pair of flush cutters or wire snips right down the center groove between the pins to ensure a clean, professional edge without cracking the neighboring plastic housing.
